From the publisher of B. Kliban's Cat, All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat, and Bad Cat, comes a new book that answers the question all cat lovers ask: How do I make my cat like me? 97 Ways to Make a Cat Like You is the perfect interactive guide to these mysterious, fickle, seemingly aloof--yet really, just particular--pets. Paired with a full-color photograph of friendly, extroverted, happy cats (in case you've forgotten what a cat looks like when he likes you), the 97 inspired, occasionally silly but always behaviorally-based tips and tricks prove that when a cat is treated right, he or she will respond in kind. Within reason. There's the Eye on the Ball--record a tennis match or a Ping-Pong game on TV to play back for your cat when he needs a bit of exercise. Cat Burrito--wrap your cat in a towel, burrito-style, which is particularly good for anxious pets or trips to the vet. The Boing, Boing!--wind pipe cleaners around a pencil in a spiral shape to create springs. Carefully slide off the pencil so the spirals go boing when pressed. The classic Tickle, Tickle--tickle Kitty under her chin and softly say gitchy, gitchy, gitchy in your highest-pitched voice. And for the cat owner willing to go the distance, the There's No Business Like Show Business--practice your best Ethel Merman by belting out favorite show tunes for your cat. Kitty won't care if you're off-key and she'll enjoy the stimulation.
